For the right client, looking for luxury in a wonderfully natural setting, Soneva Kiri Koh Kood is the ultimate retreat…
Description & Location
Soneva Kiri Koh Kood offers Chic stripped down luxury. The island is famous for its waterfalls, beaches and traditional village life – Soneva Kiri embraces all of these but adds their own special ingredient of barefoot elegance and jet set style. The island is located on the eastern side of the Gulf of Siam, close to the border with Cambodia. You can travel by domestic flight to Trat, and then continue by road and speedboat, however most Soneva clients will appreciate the convenience of the resort’s own daily charter flight from/to Bangkok – flying time 55 minutes to the small airstrip and then 10 minutes by speedboat.
Koh Kood is a large, totally tropical island, with very few international hotels – of which, the Soneva Kiri, is the most upscale and expensive by a long stretch. Koh Kood, sometimes known as Koh Kut (in typical Thai fashion why have just one name.). The island is known for its great beaches, the totally laid back style and resistance to commercialised tourism. Nightlife and shopping should not be a priority.
It is located in the most southerly part of the Gulf of Siam, close to the border of Cambodia. There are daily air charters from Bangkok to the small airstrip close to Soneva, or you can fly to Trat Airport and then continue by 90 minute road and ferry.
